Re: Pedal power update

Yeah, pretty sure that £58 one is a rehoused version of the one I have. The base unit is, I think, originally released as a Palmer for about £80, then it popped up under a bunch of names on eBay for £30 or so, and I eventually got the Fame badged one from DV247. There was a smaller model released ye...

Re: New Behringer synths

Oh shit. There's some fucking great things in the pipeline.

A shrunk down Jupiter for $99 that will play ball with my volcas is an autobuy.

The designs are finalised but production is still waiting on par...

Re: Synths...EBM/industrial/synthwave/retrowave/coldwave

So i've always dug oldschool synthwave to ebm and industrial (lots of late 70s early 80s to 90s belgian bands doing that - b movie, front 242, absolute body control, vive la fête) More modern stuff too, I love carpenter brut, peturbator, lazerhawk, to harsher stuff like hocico, alien vampires, moku...

Arturia limited edition NOIR MINI/DRUMBRUTES

Arturia are releasing their grey brutes in black. That's right, you too can now say "what's that black stuff around the synthesizer?" and then answer yourself "the synthesizer" because these synths are now black. For a limited time. They've shown off the Drumbrute Impact (but not...

Re: Worst Ever Reissue Announced

A trussrod cover on a Bean? Well that's because the neck is a set maple neck, painted silver. That's the aluminium-necked guitar equivalent of me just scatting the tricky bits when I play guitar. In an even bigger own goal, at least if they'd made it bolt-on, some clever type could have made an alu...

Re: Behringer Octave Divider

I have no idea. It's... nice?

I do love the design, to be honest. I know it's a bad crib of the original Mu-Tron but I like it.

It also has a completely redundant "power" switch.

Re: Eq pedals

I just recently dug my Boss GE-7 out of my pedal graveyard. I'd been chasing a mid-heavy distortion sound, and I went through a few different things to try and get it til I remembered I had an EQ pedal that could give me that hump in the first place. And it did. It's funny coz I bought it along with...

Re: Andertons now own (part of) Burns

I was literally just heading into the forum to talk about this. There have been... issues behind the scenes for quite some time. I knew about the sale of the company last year, but I didn't realise Andertons were a part of it. It was kind of worrying; it looked like Burns hadn't really been doing an...

Re: Electro Harmonix PolyChorus tones on the cheap

Absolutely no idea, I haven't used it! If I get the chance, I'll try it out with guitar at some point, I've been meaning to anyway, so I'll let you know. What's funny is that I don't think the larger enclosure necessarily adds all that much functionality beyond that second footswitch. Having more bu...

Re: Electro Harmonix PolyChorus tones on the cheap

I got the original MS 50 as soon as it came out and thought it was kind of nuts at the time. The way it modelled the pedals, allowing you to visualise the pedalboard and adjust the controls was great. I don't think Zoom were the first, but they really packed an absolute shitload of functionality int...

Re: new EHX harmoniser

I've kind of gone off Mooers. I've had two now, a Pitch Box and an Elec Lady (electric mistress clone) and the Elec Lady seems to just never be "off", so even bypassed I can hear the effect faintly in the background. The Pitch Box has always worked (even after having had beer spilled on it...

Re: new EHX harmoniser

Yeah, I haven't played around with the TonePrint at all yet, but the stock settings are definitely more bottom-heavy than any sounds I was able to get out of the Mooer. So far that hasn't been an issue in Beige Palace, I guess because we don't have a bass player. And then I'm unsure how much I'll e...

Re: new EHX harmoniser

I wonder how different the algorithms for these polyphonic pitchshifters genuinely are. I think the POG was kind of a gamechanger in how much it allowed you to do, but was it basically just a bit of a refinement of the mono algorithms and just given a boost in processing power in order to be able to...

Re: Behringer Edge

I wonder how the boutique Muff market is doing now that EHX have reissued their historic variants (and that they are apparently pretty good!). And for reasonable prices, too. I dunno, it's like I said about the people who buy Moogs and the people that buy Behringers. Of course there's crossover, bu...
